First of all, I really appreciate all of the great advice given. Unfortunately, I didn't heed it as much as I should have-I can just see some of you guys adding another tally to the chalkboard.
I just ordered a 50# martin savannah, to be completely honest, I think I fell into the trap of wanting a bow I could keep for a pretty long time and being a macho 20 year old figured I could "handle it." Perhaps my only rational thought was, that my shorter 27ish draw length (measured by holding a stick to my sternum and reaching out) should make it around a 45 or 46#. I guess the idea of having a weaker bow just really bothered me-stupid I know.
So now I humbly come before you asking what to do now, the bow is in the mail and so obviously I haven't shot it yet. I have not gotten arrows yet but was looking at the gold tip traditional 3555 at about 29."
Any help, chastisement, reassurance, or honest recommendations as to my next steps would be appreciated. I realize that it may pay off more to go out and get a cheapie 40# fiberglass or something than to plagued by a life of bad form, if that is really a necessity.
I realize I may have made a mistake, I would just like to help mitigating the damage.
